Server-based
Thin Client Computing is taking a basic terminal ( a old pc or a terminal with ICA
protocol capable) and using a client/server model. It gives the ability to run all the
software on the server and have just a terminal at the workstation. PC&L has
been installing Thin clients for over 5 years. We originally began installing Citrix
WinFrame in wireless networks and have grown with the technology.
Microsoft® Windows NT® Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition and Windows 2000 brings the Windows® experience to users who are unable to run the latest version of Windows on the current desktop hardware. Terminal Server will enable terminal users to enjoy a whole new generation of Windows-based applications and gain the ease of use that Windows-based PC users have enjoyed for years.
Server-based Computing system software for Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2000 , Terminal Server Edition. Enhances the power of Terminal Server with additional client and server functionality -- including support for heterogeneous computing environments, enterprise-scale management and seamless desktop integration
Wyse has a full line of WinTerm Terminals to run the MetaFrame or MS Terminal Server software.
Windows
2000 Terminal Services is a technology that lets you remotely execute
applications on a Windows 2000-based server from a wide range of devices
over virtually any type of network connection. With the integration of
Windows 2000 Terminal Services into the core server operating system, you
can choose to deploy the latest Windows-based applications in a fully
server-centric mode, where applications run entirely on the server. When
Terminal Services is enabled on Windows 2000 Server, administrators do not
have to install Windows-based 32-bit applications on each desktop
computer. Instead, the application is installed once on the server, and
the clients automatically have access to the new or upgraded software
package through Terminal Services Client software.

Rapid delivery of business-critical applications, across the extended enterprise — on the Web and other networks — requires a robust, centralized application delivery and management capability. It must be scalable, reliable, manageable and secure. And it must offer predictability in terms of performance, user experience and cost.
Citrix MetaFrame for Windows 2000 Servers empowers you with the end-to-end command and control that enterprise-class computing demands.

MetaFrame™ is server-based computing software for
Microsoft’s Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition . MetaFrame delivers a
comprehensive Server-based solution to the enterprise by extending Windows
Terminal Server with additional client and server
functionality -- including support for heterogeneous computing environments,
enterprise-scale management and seamless desktop integration. MetaFrame transforms the way
organizations deploy, manage and access business applications by providing improved
application manageability, access, performance and security. Citrix MetaFrame system
software, which incorporates Citrix’s Independent Computing Architecture (ICA),
provides a complete Server-based Computing solution for multi-user NT 4.0 environments.
MetaFrame software extends Microsoft Terminal Server with additional client- and server-side functionality in the following key areas:
Heterogeneous Computing Environments. While Microsoft Terminal Server supports Windows-based devices and IP-based connections, MetaFrame delivers Windows-based application access to virtually all types of client hardware, operating platforms, network connections and LAN protocols. As a result, organizations can keep their existing infrastructure, yet still deploy the most advanced, 32-bit Windows-based applications across the enterprise.
Enterprise-Scale Management. Organizations building enterprise computing systems around Microsoft Terminal Server will want MetaFrame for its robust management tools that scale systems and simplify the support of multiple applications and thousands of users enterprise-wide. Servers can be added easily and transparently without touching user desktops. Applications can be administered across multiple servers from a single location. With MetaFrame software, organizations can cost-effectively manage and support large enterprises as they grow in size and complexity.
Seamless Desktop Integration. MetaFrame offers an enhanced user experience by providing complete access to all local system resources, including full 16-bit stereo audio, local drives, COM ports and local printers. Although applications run remotely from the server, they look, feel and perform as though they are running locally. By providing this level of comfort for users, MetaFrame eliminates the need for training and increases user productivity.
What is a Winterm thin client?
WintermTM thin clients are devices that provide complete, enterprise-wide
access to 16- and 32-bit Windows®-, JavaTM-, browser-, and legacy applications with a
user-friendly graphical interface. With these Wyse® solutions, applications run on the
server, not the client, allowing for centralized management, enhanced security, and
exceptional, cost-effective performance. Winterm thin clients also feature built-in
terminal emulation capabilities, providing direct access to a wide variety of host-based,
legacy computing environments. Combined, these features deliver Windows NT® and legacy
functionality from the user's desktop terminal while reducing an enterprise's total cost
of ownership.
How does it work?
The key to Winterm thin clients is their unique ability to separate an application's
interface from its execution. During a computing session, only mouse clicks, keystrokes,
and screen updates travel the network. All processing occurs on the server. So Winterm
devices require only one-tenth the bandwidth of a conventional client/server network.
The interface between a Windows terminal and its server is typically enabled by Citrix®
WinFrame® server software and its ICA® (Independent Computing Architecture) protocol.
ICA provides universal access across any type of network to the full Windows NT operating
system environment through the use of standard network connecting options such as async,
modem, Ethernet, ISDN, Frame Relay, and ATM. Endorsed by Microsoft, ICA is rapidly
becoming the de facto industry-standard protocol for thin-client/server computing.
Why use Wyse Winterm thin clients?
Winterm thin clients are the best solution for growing enterprises because they are
smarter, easier, and thinner than other thin-client options on the market today.
Smarter, because we offer choices. IT professionals can choose the device that best fits
the user's application needs--Windows-, Java-, browser-, or host-based applications, or
all in one. And because we offer more options for more work environments. There are
products that are slim and modular for locations where space is at a premium. Streamlined
and flat devices where aesthetics and functionality are key. Emission-free models for
sensitive locations. Integrated units for ease of installation and maintenance with high
security. And even wireless, mobile units where on-the-go computing is a must.
Winterm thin clients are easier. All of our products are plug-and-play-ready with built-in
terminal emulation and a wide variety of connectivity options to fit almost any enterprise
network.
And by utilizing the latest in centralized computing technologies--where 100 percent of
the applications and data reside and execute on the server--the Wyse approach is thinner.
Users get universal access to business-critical applications without any sacrifice of
application performance. IT professionals can deploy and manage applications from a single
location, and enterprise application security is actually improved. Together, these
benefits are what "thin" is all about--reducing the total cost of computing and
solving desktop 2000 needs.
